Marc Anthony, our officiant, is an absolute gentleman. He led our ceremony with positive, heartwarming thoughts that helped remind us why my wife and I chose to tie the knot.

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Nicole was absolutely fantastic. We knew we wanted someone who could capture not just the big moments, but also the small, intimate details of our day, and she did exactly that. On the wedding day, she was professional, organized, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos turned out breathtaking! Every shot was beautifully composed, with natural, candid moments that truly captured the emotions of the day. We were especially impressed with how she managed to get stunning group photos without it ever feeling forced or rushed. Our family and friends also commented on how friendly and unobtrusive she was, allowing everyone to enjoy the day without constantly worrying about posing or being in front of the camera. The turnaround time for our photos was faster than we expected, and we were so happy to relive our special day through the incredible images. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but truly passionate about her craft, we couldn’t recommend Nicole enough!

Brittany and her team were absolutely amazing from the day I found her online.

She made us comfortable in front of the camera and orchestrated everything to a T. Her team captured all angles of the wedding, and we are thrilled with the outcome. Organized from start to finish, and I think that’s the most important part. The weather was cold, windy, and rainy on our special day, and Brittany accepted that challenge in stride and made the best of what we had to work with. Thank you, Brittany and team!

I am honestly not even sure where to start. Charmaine was absolutely incredible. Originally, my husband and I were very nervous about hiring a florist. I mean, flowers are expensive! After a few weeks of wedding planning, however, we realized that we couldn't do it all ourselves. That's when we reached out to Charmaine. During our first call, I explicitly expressed our budget concerns with her. She made sure to keep our concerns in mind throughout the entire process, and the results were beautiful flowers that were right in our price range! Charmaine was consistently professional, kind, and she always responded to my texts and calls within minutes. Even though I hired her as a florist, she turned out to be a wonderful wedding planner as well! The florals were absolutely stunning! She went above and beyond for both the ceremony and reception.

My favorite thing about makeup is making someone look like a better version of themselves and helping them to feel confident and beautiful on their big day. I’m a Sephora Pro trained artist and was formally a Graphic Designer. I think my past training has given me a lot of insight and has let me be able to cater to all skin types and tones.

I cannot recommend enough! Tiffany did the most incredible job on my wedding day, giving me the perfect natural look that made me feel like the best version of myself. The makeup was flawless and lasted the entire night without any touch-ups, despite all the outfit changes, dancing and celebrating. On top of her amazing skills, she was such a joy to work with – so kind, patient, and professional. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful. If you’re looking for someone who will deliver stunning results while making you feel at ease, she is the one! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so beautiful.

Her experience within the event and wedding planning industry shows immediately - her connections to vendors, advice, ideas and knowledge of how a successful day looks is a huge part of what makes her team so powerful - not to mention the extremely bubbly, funny and positive energy she brings to every conversation and meeting. To top it all off, the morning and afternoon of our wedding day was a straight monsoon - Courtney and her team did not blink, jumped into GO mode and turned our day, venue, timeline and energy around flawlessly.

It was grey and cloudy all day, but when we saw this sunset open up over the lake, she literally ran outside with us to get these pictures.

The Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the start, the planner Kim was incredibly straightforward and clear in her communication, which we really appreciated. She and her team worked like a well-oiled machine to ensure everything went smoothly. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, with a stunning view of the lake and the beautiful Aurora temple. The Roland House where we stayed was so quaint and charming. Kim was particularly great at handling some unique logistical challenges, like coordinating our Indian Baraat procession with the DJ, which had never been done at the property before. She also made a last-minute call to move the ceremony indoors to avoid rain, which saved the day. Kim and her team were extremely coordinated and attentive to all the little details like signs and name cards. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, dream-like wedding venue.

Not only is she extremely talented and easy to communicate with, but she was such a kind, sweet and professional presence on the day of my wedding. I did my trial on my bday (highly recommend) and didn’t want to change a thing for the wedding! My wedding day was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Hannah. Her air brush makeup felt refreshing going on and felt light all day. She used the perfect colors for my cool toned skin and exceeded my expectations! I went for youthful, blushy, doll-like. My girls and moms loved their makeup as well, regardless of whether they asked for natural or glam, everyone looked incredibly radiant.

Peter is very professional and prompt during the entire planning process all the way through the event. After signing with him, we had no worries and knew that we had made an excellent decision going with him. He assists in anything you need along the way and was very understanding and sympathetic regarding us having to postpone because of COVID. Even though we had to have a Sunday wedding, he did an amazing job getting people on the dance flow and staying on the dance floor the entire night - overall, he was amazing to work with!

From the moment we booked our wedding at Timber Banks Clubhouse, the staff was incredibly organized and helpful. The on-site planners guided us through the entire process, ensuring every detail was accounted for. The ballroom was absolutely stunning, spacious and beautifully appointed. The food was exceptional, with each dish perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. On the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. They assisted with setting up our personal items and checked in regularly to address any needs. Timber Banks truly is a one-stop shop, with amazing planners who are open, honest, and committed to making your wedding experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend this venue.

Hartlot Happening is a super cool and unique venue located right in the Finger Lakes. It has an industrial and fun vibe, and is unlike anything in the area. I have the privilege of providing rental services for this venue, and I am always so thrilled to see the space come to life. There are full bathrooms and a kitchen, as well as covered space in case of rain. Check it out - you will not be disappointed.
